475: Li Xueqin was so angry she felt like vomiting blood (Part 1)

"Good! As expected of someone from my Ji Family!"

"Anyone who dares to threaten a member of my Ji Family deserves death!"

Ji Boshang laughed heartily, his eyes shining; he was approving of Ji Wuchang more and more now.

"Fifth Elder, I saw that the Young Master seemed to have used a Battle Technique from the Hall of Ten Thousand Souls just now. Will that invite pursuit from the Hall of Ten Thousand Souls?"

Ji Yongming spoke with a smile, though a hint of worry remained in his eyes.

"What is there to fear? If the Hall of Ten Thousand Souls dares to touch a member of my Ji Family, we will simply wipe them out."

"Those fellows who are neither human nor ghost—if it weren't for our deep-rooted history with them, the Ji Family would have acted against them long ago."

"Over the years, the Hall of Ten Thousand Souls has been making various moves constantly, which has already caused dissatisfaction among many forces in Daxian Province. A battle is inevitable in the future!"

"However, your concern does make some sense!"

"When I return to the Family, I'll slaughter the branches of the Hall of Ten Thousand Souls in these nearby provinces to save us the trouble!"

Ji Boshang spoke with an overbearing aura, killing intent surging in his eyes.

Ji Yongming did not know that this Fifth Elder was not as calm as he appeared; he was actually incredibly shocked deep down.

Ji Wuchang had just performed three Battle Techniques in a row. Aside from the first one, which he recognized, he didn't know the second or third ones!

But after those two Battle Techniques fused, they became terrifyingly extraordinary, actually allowing his cultivation base to soar rapidly and enabling him to kill enemies of a higher rank!

Moreover, when that foot stomped down, various powers of laws actually gathered automatically, leaving Ji Boshang even more stunned.

One must know that even in the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, one cannot use the power of laws; only in the supreme realm can one begin to touch upon the laws.

Since he couldn't figure it out, he simply set it aside.

If Ji Wuchang's surname weren't Ji at this moment, Ji Boshang would have acted without hesitation to capture him and search his soul.

Because such Battle Techniques would be of great significance even to the current Ji Family!

[Ding! Congratulations, Master, for slaying Li Chongshan. luck points +999. Li Chongshan's luck points have been reset to zero!]

The System's voice rang out in Ji Wuchang's mind!

He set down his teacup, and a faint smile couldn't help but appear at the corners of his mouth.

No one noticed that the hand he used to hold the teacup was trembling slightly, and his feet were also shaking a bit.

Heaven-Treading Step was indeed terrifying, but its consumption was equally terrifying; half of the Spiritual Energy in his body had been drained away instantly.

His right foot was in even more excruciating pain, as if the bones had shattered.

The reason he returned to the main tent was to display this air of complete indifference.

The commotion at the main tent alerted the surrounding people, and figures began flying over from a distance.

Among these figures, some were Ninth Princess Li Xueqin's guards, while others were the City Lords of various cities.

When they saw a headless corpse lying in front of the Princess's main tent, their expressions changed drastically, and they were about to rush inside.

"No one is allowed to enter! This Princess is fine!"

Just then, Li Xueqin's voice rang out, reaching the outside of the tent.

She finally snapped out of it, her eyes as calm as water, regaining her usual coolness and composure.

She was, after all, a member of the Heavenly Star Dynasty's royal Family; such killings were not uncommon, so she quickly adjusted!

"Ninth Princess, what happened?"

"Could it be that an assassin just tried to assassinate Your Highness?"

Li Qiankun, the City Lord of Heavenly Dragon City, spoke, and the pressure of the second level of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm emanated from his body.

The Princess's main tent was not closed. Although Li Qiankun and the others stood outside, they could clearly see the situation inside.

Li Qiankun had already determined that although there was an outsider, Ji Wuchang, inside the tent, he didn't care about someone at the fourth level of the Six Gods Realm.

Li Qiankun's words voiced everyone's concerns, and they all looked into the main tent.

Li Xueqin took a deep look at Ji Wuchang. Seeing his calm gaze,

and how he wasn't panicked at all by Li Qiankun's arrival, a look of annoyance appeared on her face!

"City Lord Li, there is no need to worry. It was just an accident just now."

"Li Chongshan harbored ill intentions, so I had Enshrined Zhao kill him on the spot!"

Li Xueqin gritted her teeth as she said this, her indifferent gaze sweeping over the maidservants.

The maidservants understood instantly and bowed their heads one after another, not daring to look at Ji Wuchang.

Li Qiankun and the others were stunned to hear the Ninth Princess's words, because Li Chongshan was her absolute confidant. How could he harbor ill intentions?

But since the Ninth Princess said so, then it was so; they naturally wouldn't dwell on it.

Few people liked that eunuch Li Chongshan anyway!

"Since Your Highness is fine, we shall take our leave!"

Li Qiankun glanced at Ji Wuchang, then cupped his fists toward Li Xueqin and turned to leave.

His brow furrowed slightly; he felt that something was wrong with what had just happened, but he couldn't put his finger on it for the moment.

Zhao Lianpeng stood protectively in front of the Ninth Princess, his whole body tense, which also seemed a bit off to Li Qiankun.

But since the Ninth Princess didn't want to pursue the matter, he didn't bother with it either!

Soon, the City Lords and guards all withdrew, taking Li Chongshan's body with them, and silence returned to the area outside the main tent.

Zhao Lianpeng did not leave the tent; instead, he stayed close to Li Xueqin, his body remaining tense.

Several maidservants brought water and washed away the bloodstains at the entrance!

The bloody water seeped into the ground and soon vanished without a trace, as if nothing had ever happened!

Li Xueqin sat down again and picked up her teacup. Taking a small sip, she felt the tea was incredibly bitter.

"Ninth Princess, that old fellow was using his influence to oppress others just now. In a moment of anger, I failed to control my strength. I hope Your Highness can forgive me!"

Just then, Ji Wuchang spoke, his expression as calm as water.

Li Xueqin nearly crushed her silver teeth, feeling stifled by Ji Wuchang's words.

Li Chongshan had indeed used his influence to oppress him; she couldn't deny that, and she was the one who had instigated it.

But as for Ji Wuchang saying he failed to control his strength out of anger, she didn't believe a single word.

She was truly shocked in her heart; this Ji Wuchang was actually far more terrifying than she had anticipated.

"Ji Wuchang, what exactly is your cultivation base?"

Li Xueqin strongly suspected that Ji Wuchang was intentionally hiding his cultivation base to play the pig to eat the tiger.

The terrifying aura he had revealed when he erupted just now was completely inconsistent with his current cultivation base.

Zhao Lianpeng also stared at Ji Wuchang. A massive wave had already surged in his heart, though he just hadn't shown it!

He was also extremely curious about Ji Wuchang's cultivation base. He had checked multiple times just now, and the cultivation base the other party displayed was indeed the fourth level of the Six Gods Realm.

"Your Highness, you didn't ask me to come here just to ask these questions, did you?"

Ji Wuchang didn't answer and instead asked back.

Upon hearing this, Li Xueqin almost spat blood. It seemed this fellow didn't take her seriously at all, but she truly had no way to deal with him.

The terrifying speed and killing intent he had just displayed had caused her to break out in a cold sweat.

If he had targeted her just now, she would have certainly died, with no possibility of survival.

This person was even more dangerous than she had imagined!
